NoMad London
NoMad London “is possibly the most exciting hotel opening in London since The Ned”, says Fiona Kerr for Condé Nast Traveller. The original NoMad, in New York, is “one of the city’s moodiest, slickest stays”. Here, in London, its “cultivated cool” is transplanted to the former Bow Street magistrates’ court and police station in Covent Garden. The design brief required exploring “the artistic and cultural synergy between London and New York, with more than 1,600 works of art on show”. The “pub-like” Side Hustle restaurant will serve Mexican sharing plates and mezcal, “in place of the usual pork-scratchings and pints, while Common Decency serves serious cocktails. After our long enforced hibernation, this is the hottest ticket in town”. Room rates start from around £455.

The country-house hotel promises to be the star of Summer 2021
If your cursor’s spent the last week hovering over the ‘book now’ button while government ministers hummed and hawed about our ‘Great British summer holiday’, now’s the time to click. Luxury properties have been inundated with reservation requests for the coming season, none more so than country house hotels.
For all the challenges posed by 2020 – many businesses traded for as few of four of the last twelve months – it was the country house hotel’s season in the sun. Their unique package of world-class luxury and acre after acre of safe open space could not have been more attractive: it’s pretty easy to socially distance when there’s a croquet lawn and a topiary swan between you and the next guest. “The staycation saved the country house hotel,” says Michael Caines, chef patron of Lympstone Manor in Devon. “It looks like it’s going to be the buzzword of the year again.”
